Thermalization and Radial flow in HI STAR whitepaper Phys. Rev. Lett. 92 (2004) 182301 Thermalization in heavy-ion collisions ? -particle ratios agree with thermal prediction Matter flows in heavy-ion collisions – all particles have the same collective velocity ATHIC2010, Oct 18-20, Wuhan

Centrality dependence for T and <bT> • Multi-strange hadrons decouple earlier • Hadron rescattering at hadronic phase doesn’t produce a collective radial flow, instead, it drives the system off equilibrium • Partons achieve thermal equilibrium in central collisions ATHIC2010, Oct 18-20, Wuhan 11
Beam energy dependence • The radial flow velocity at SPS is smaller than that at RHIC. • Freeze-out temperatures are similar at RHIC and SPS. • The non-equilibrium parameter (q-1) is small in central nucleus-nucleus collisions at RHIC and SPS except a larger (q -1) value for non-strange hadrons at RHIC energy ATHIC2010, Oct 18-20, Wuhan 12

Summary Identified particle spectra from SPS to RHIC have been analyzed with Tsallis statistics in Blast-wave description (light hadrons, multi-strange hadrons, charmonium) We found in HIC • Partonic phase • Partons achieve thermal equilibrium in central heavy-ion collisions • J/y is not thermalized and disfavors regeneration • Multi-strange hadrons decouple earlier • Hadronic phase • Hadronic rescattering doesn’t produce collective radial flow • It drives the system off equilibrium • Radial flow reflects that when the multi-strange decouples Thank you!
